Politiche e piani per l’agricoltura urbana e periurbana. Finalità e strumenti di attuazione

Urban Agriculture can contribute to reaching several Urban Agenda Goals and sustainable development targets. UA has been recently addressed by many policies, at the international and the local level, whose domains span from food policies to rural policies to policies on green infrastructures, urban regeneration, and over.

Based on the first findings of the H2020 Project EFUA (European Forum for a Comprehensive Vision on Urban Agriculture), the paper offers a review and systematization of the policy and planning instruments applied worldwide, and related governance arrangements, from strategic plans to statutory plans and regulations to incentives.
